The Revenge of the Son of the Southside Bipper

Steve gets particularly vicious this time around. He first tries to soften me up with some Chippers before landing the blow.

Here's Chipper smiling in happier days. He probably likes the way the foil words rubbing up on his crotch feels.

A Dick Perez sketch of Chipper from A&G. Anyone critisizing the quality of the sketch needs to realize that this image of the sketch is actual size. It's not easy to paint something that good on a tiny little card. Anyone criticizing Topps for leaving the 1/1 designation on the one per pack insert may carry on.

Here's the First Edition version of the 2007 Upper Deck card seen above. Not only is there a different photo on the front, but there is a different photo on the back for both cards as well. It's times like these I really miss Upper Deck.

Aaaaaaand now I don't miss them anymore.

Here's a 2007 Opening Day insert of Chipper that would have looked 1000000% better if it wasn't on foilboard. Foilboard cards have been totally unneccessary since about 1997.

Cool! A spanish version Super Estrellas Chipper. This was a nifty set and at one time you could find boxes of them for 10 bucks at Wally World.

85 hits, 98 runs and 126 hits. The cool thing about Moments and Milestones is that since I am the only one in the blogosphere who admits to liking the set, everyone keeps sending me their M&M cards. I might actually be able to complete one of these ridiculous runs of Chippers one of these days just through blind aggregation.

My original crappy neglected blog what I'm trying to resurrect this year

Want Lists

Note on the Blogroll

If you have a blog, and it ain't on here, LET ME KNOW! There are a lot of good blogs I'm missing out on. I'm also very forgetful and sometimes forget to put it on the list even if I do find a good one. If your blog is about cards or trading or sports in general I'll fit it in, but don't try to sneak your blog about politics or cats or crop rotation in the 14th century on here.
